• Here you will find the chronicles of our family of four. More pictures than words, I am most at home capturing our life with a still camera. Photos help me recognize the beauty and awesomeness in both the phenomenal people I live life alongside and this breathtaking place we live, planet earth.

    I am a child of God. I am the wife to a wonderful man, mother to two amazing little people. I am both daughter and sister. I am a runner. I love to travel and read.

    I often title this season of our life's adventure, The Continuing Adventures of Mallory Girl and Mark Boy. The photography is mine (unless otherwise noted.) Questions are always welcome. Thanks for reading and adventuring alongside us.

home

Mallory and I are home. When we walked in the door, she ran around greeting all her toys and saying hello to the ornaments (yes our tree is still up). She brought me about 12 books to read one right after the next. We all slept well in our own beds. It’s good to be home.

So my next challenge is to put Christmas away…may my precious little one take many longs naps this week.

Christmas Gifts that keep on giving. This toy is delightful. She loves it. Loves riding it, loves pushing it, loves giving Mickey a ride on it, loves it inside, loves it outside. Maybe on day she will even learn to push herself around on it! (smile)

Guess it is not riding home on the plane with you?? Looking forward to seeing you next week.

busy busy

She is busy morning noon and night. Here with lots of family to help entertain it’s more manageable, but she and I return home Sunday. Here’s to enjoying a few more days of an audience (not to mention pool of readers) larger than just Ben and I.

What a blessing to know your child is loved by so many….

Documentation

We document things. Take LOTS of photos. And my mother likes to video. So we have lots of documented Mallory. This photo isn’t the first one like this, but it is the most recent. Sunday after church, Mallory delighted in helping me clean out the "tupperware" drawer. Nonnie got in on the action and we have lots of documentation of her delight and inquisitiveness. She is a daily reminder of how blessed I am. Thank you Father.

    

Eyore

Three Eyores. My great-grandmother Starr made one for my Meme, and one for my mother and Mallory picked hers up off the shelf this summer at Disney. It seems Eyore is a family thing 🙂
